Recordings |
The 1969 festival was not documented in anywhere near as much detail as the 1970 show. There were film crews roving around filming Dylan . There was a radio broadcast to the continent , but otherwise remarkably few recordings of the music have emerged over the years. Whether more exists in collections or vaults is a matter for conjecture .
Known audio recordings
Dylan -Complete set , fairly good audience recording, 60 mins

The Band -Complete set, fairly good audience recording, 45 mins

Stills from the IOW DVD'S
DVD's of the Whos set and part of Dylans set are now floating around in the ether , last spotted here
 |
Portions of both have appeared on Youtube and they are nothing to shout about, very ropey camerawork, constant zooming, changing positon of shot for no apparent reason, lots of camera shake- avoid unless you are a rabid fan
Dylans set on film
